the xtra friend Lyrics

I'm only needed when they need a therapist

I'm not really greeted, I'm not really missed

I don't know the inside jokes but I know the rules

Number one, I'm not novelty, two, I'm not special or cool

I'm just there to make them laugh

There to give them praise

I'm normal, I've got good parents and even better grades

If I want to be included, I'm the one that's got to bend

'Cause I'm the extra friend

And I know when I'm not wanted

But it's better than when I'm alone

'Cause I'd rather be annoying

Than be on my own

So I'll be the one to plan things just so I'm not left out

So I'll take one for the team or they'll see they're better off without (me)

Immature, insecure, insensible, invisible when

They realize that I'm the extra friend

Here and there I'm wanted

Here and there they'll wave at me

Across the hallway

Sometimes across the street

But I know the ones I really want to finally notice me

Are the ones I mainly like because they're mainly who I want to be

Maybe when I go to college

I can step out of my bounds

Maybe then people will notice

I can be more than just in the background

Change how they see me, make my own life and then

Maybe I won't be the extra friend

But until then

I'm the one that's always on the edge

Of being wanted and being the one that's left

When it all comes to an end

Will I still be the extra friend?

I will still be the extra friend
